Cat has mild asthma but inhalers are unaffordable

Hi there! I'm really sorry to hear about your kitty's struggle with asthma. Managing feline asthma without an inhaler can be challenging, but there are some things you can do at home to help your furry friend breathe easier.



First, aim to minimize allergens in your home. Regularly dusting and vacuuming can reduce the amount of dust and other particles that could trigger an asthma attack. If you're using any scented products like air fresheners or candles, consider reducing or eliminating these as they can exacerbate respiratory issues.



Monitoring your cat's diet and weight can also be beneficial, as excess weight can put additional strain on their respiratory system. Make sure your cat's diet is healthy and balanced, and encourage regular playtime to help maintain a healthy weight.



Watch for signs that may indicate a worsening condition, such as increased coughing, wheezing, open-mouth breathing, or lethargy. If these symptoms occur, it's essential to seek veterinary care immediately, as your cat may need immediate medical attention.
